Why Lookman won CAF Men’s Player of the Year – Dad

Father of 2024 CAF Men’s Player of the Year, Ademola Lookman has praised the winger for his commitment and humility.

“I am proud of him as a father because he is a very committed player, he is very humble, he does not like too much publicity, because he really wants to focus on his football. And that is what has taken him to this level,” he told live score.
